.INTRODUCTION. 

Scope  of  the  work. — All  results  of  spirit  leveling  in  Idaho  previously 
published  by  the  United  States  Geological  Survey  and  all  results  of 
later  work  in  the  State  are  included  in  this  report,  rearranged  by 
quadrangles.  Most  of  the  elevations  are  based  on  the  precise-level 
line  of  the  United  States  Coast  and  Geodetic  Survey  from  Seattle, 
Wash.,  via  Pocatello,  Idaho,  to  Evanston,  Wyo.,  from  the  preliminary 
adjustment  by  that  bureau  in  1911. 

Personnel. — The  field  work  previous  to  1903  was  done  under  the 
general  direction  of  R.  U.  Goode,  geographer;  that  for  1903  to  1906, 
inclusive,  under  E.  M.  Douglas,  geographer;  that  for  1907  under 
R.  B.  Marshall,  geographer;  and  the  later  work  under  T.  G.  Gerdine, 
geographer,  under  the  general  direction  of  R.  B.  Marshall,  chief  geog- 
rapher. Credit  is  given  to  the  different  levelmen  in  the  introduction 
to  each  list.  The  office  work  of  computation,  adjustment,  and  prepa- 
ration of  lists  was  done  mainly  by  S.  S.  Gannett,  geographer,  and 
D.  H.  Baldwin,  topographer,  and  since  1907  under  the  general  direc- 
tion of  E.  M.  Douglas,  geographer. 

Classification. — The  elevations  are  classified  as  precise  or  primary, 
according  to  the  methods  employed  in  their  determination.  For  pre- 
cise lines  instruments  and  rods  of  the  highest  grade  are  used,  each  line 
is  run  in  both  forward  and  backward  directions,  and  every  precaution 
is  taken  to  guard  against  error.  The  allowable  divergence  between 
the  forward  and  the  backward  lines  in  feet  is  represented  by  the  for- 
mula 0.017-\/D,  in  which  D  is  the  distance  in  miles  between  bench 
marks.  For  primary  lines  standard  Y  levels  are  used;  lines  are  run 
in  circuits  or  are  closed  on  precise  lines,  with  an  allowable  closing  error 
in  feet  represented  by  the  formula  0.05^0,  in  which  D  is  the  length 
of  the  circuit  in  miles,  sufficient  care  being  given  the  work  to  maintain 
this  standard.  For  levels  of  both  classes  careful  office  adjustments 
are  made,  the  small  outstanding  errors  being  distributed  over  the 

lines.

6  SPIRIT  LEVELING  IN   IDAHO,   1896  TO  1909. 

Bench  marks. — The  standard  bench  marks  are  of  two  forms.  The 
first  form  is  a  circular  bronze  or  aluminum  tablet  (C  and  E,  PL  I), 
3^  inches  in  diameter  and  one-fourth  inch  thick,  having  a  3-inch  stem, 
which  is  cemented  in  a  drill  hole  in  solid  rock,  in  the  wall  of  some  public 
building,  in  a  bridge  abutment,  or  in  other  substantial  masonry  struc- 
ture. The  second  form  (F,  PL  I),  employed  where  masonry  or  rock  is 
not  accessible,  consists  of  a  hollow  wrought-iron  post  3J  inches  in 
outer  diameter  and  4  feet  in  length  after  being  split  at  the  bottom  and 
expanded  to  10  inches  in  order  to  give  a  firm  bearing  on  the  earth.  A 
bronze  or  aluminum-bronze  cap  is  riveted  over  the  top  of  the  post, 
which  is  set  about  3  feet  in  the  ground.  A  third  style  of  bench  mark 
with  abbreviated  lettering  (B  and  D,  PI.  I)  is  used  for  unimportant 
points.  This  consists  of  a  special  copper  nail  1J  inches  in  length 
driven  through  a  copper  washer  seven-eighths  of  an  inch  in  diameter. 

The  tablets,  as  well  as  the  caps  on  the  iron  posts,  are  appropriately 
lettered,  and  for  cooperating  States  the  fact  of  such  cooperation  is 
indicated  by  the  addition  of  the  State  name  (G,  PL  I).  The  numbers 
stamped  on  the  bench  marks  described  in  the  following  pages  represent 
the  elevations  to  the  nearest  foot  as  determined  by  the  levelman. 
These  numbers  are  stamped  with  -j^-inch  steel  dies  on  the  tablets  or 
post  caps,  to  the  left  of  the  word  "feet."  The  office  adjustment  of 
the  notes  and  the  reduction  to  mean  sea-level  datum  may  so  change 
some  of  the  figures  that  the  original  markings  are  1  or  2  feet  in  error. 
It  is  assumed  that  engineers  and  others  who  have  occasion  to  use  the 
bench-mark  elevations  will  apply  to  the  Director  of  the  United  States 
Geological  Survey,  at  Washington,  D.  C.,  for  the  adjusted  values,  and 
will  use  the  markings  as  identification  numbers  only. 

Datum. — All  United  States  Geological  Survey  elevations  are  referred 
to  mean  sea  level,  which  is  the  level  that  the  sea  would  assume  if  the 
influence  of  winds  and  tides  were  eliminated.  This  level  is  not  the 
elevation  determined  from  the  mean  of  the  highest  and  the  lowest  tides, 
nor  is  it  the  half  sum  of  the  mean  of  all  the  high  tides  and  of  the  mean 
of  all  the  low  tides,  which  is  called  half-tide  level.  Mean  sea  level  is 
the  average  Jieiglit  of  the  water,  all  stages  of  the  tide  being  considered.  It 
is  determined  from  observations  made  by  means  of  tidal  gages  placed 
at  stations  where  local  conditions,  such  as  long,  narrow  bays,  rivers, 
and  like  features,  will  not  affect  the  height  of  the  water.  To  obtain 
even  approximately  correct  results  these  observations  must  extend 
over  at  least  one  lunar  month,  and  if  great  accuracy  is  desired  they 
must  extend  over  several  years.  At  ocean  stations  half-tide  level 
and  mean  sea  level  usually  differ  but  little.  It  is  assumed  that  there 
is  no  difference  between  the  mean  sea  level  as  determined  from  obser- 
vations in  the  Atlantic  Ocean,  the  Gulf  of  Mexico,  or  the  Pacific 
Ocean. 


PRECISE   LEVELING.  7 

The  connection  with  tidal  stations  for  bench  marks  in  certain  areas 
that  lie  at  some  distance  from  the  sea  coast  is  still  uncertain,  and  this 
fact  is  indicated  by  the  addition  of  a  letter  or  a  word  to  the  right  of 
the  word  "Datum"  on  tablets  or  posts.  For  such  areas  corrections 
of  published  results  will  be  made  from  time  to  time  as  the  precise- 
level  lines  of  the  United  States  Geological  Survey  or  other  Government 
organizations  are  extended. 

Topographic  maps. — Maps  of  the  following  quadrangles  wholly  or 
partly  in  Idaho  have  been  published  by  the  United  States. Geological 
Survey  up  to  August  1,  1911.  They  may  be  obtained,  except  as  noted,

The  elevations  in  the  following  list  are  results  of  a  line  of  precise 
leveling  begun  at  Huntington,  Oreg.,  and  run  southeast  along  the 
Oregon  Short  Line  Railroad  in  Idaho  to  Ontario,  Oreg.  This  line  was 
redetermined  by  the  Coast  and  Geodetic  Survey,  being  part  of  its 
transcontinental  line  of  precise  leveling,  and  was  corrected  to  accord 
with  the  heights  obtained  by  the  preliminary  1911  adjustment. 

The  double  simultaneous  method  of  levelkig  was  employed,  using  a 
Van  Orden  type  of  precise  level  and  special  rods. 

The  leveling  was  done  in  1903  by  C.  H.  Semper.

PRIMARY  LEVELING. 

Cambridge,  Meadows,  Squaw  Creek,  and  Weiser  quadrangles. 
BOISE  AND  WASHINGTON  COUNTIES. 

The  elevations  in  the  following  list  are  based  on  the  preliminary 
1911  adjusted  elevation  of  Bench  Mark  G6  of  the  Coast  and  Geodetic 
Survey  at  Weiser,  Idaho,  on  the  transcontinental  line  of  precise  levels. 

The  leveling  in  the  Squaw  Creek  quadrangle  was  done  by  D.  A. 
Maxwell  in  1907,  and  that  in  the  other  quadrangles  by  Maxwoll  and 
J.  G.  Hefty  in  the  same  year.  A  check  line  was  run  in  the  Weiser 
quadrangle  in  1908  by  W.  B.  Jones.

Priest  Lake  quadrangle. 

KOOTENAI  COUNTY. 

The  following  elevations  are  based  on  that  of  an  iron  post  stamped 
"2442"  near  the  edge  of  Priest  Lake  at  Coolin,  the  accepted  elevation 
of  which  is  2,447.102  feet.  Water  leveling  was  used  in  determining 
elevations  at  other  points  on  the  lake,  and  from  these  only  single  spur 
primary  level  lines  were  run  and  the  elevations  are  therefore  un-
